Mrs. Greaney, Pat, Sheryl, & Bill,
Please accept my condolences on the passing of Mr. Greaney, as I will always know him as. I was very saddened to hear the news. I'll always have fond memories of little league baseball with Bill and Coach Greaney as well as the countless times our families got together back in the day. My prayers are with all of you during this difficult time.
